"What do you mean?"
The fat man looked calm and composed, even managing to muster up an appropriate amount of confusion on his face, as if he was completely baffled by being hung in mid-air.
The black cat's pupils narrowed into a line:
"What were you up to tonight?"
"Studying!"
The fat wizard spoke swiftly and decisively: "I went to the library to catch up on homework, you know, I haven't finished my Curse Course assignments, which are due Monday. The Doctor can vouch for me... Ugh!!"
A large, fleshy tongue was pulled out of his mouth by an invisible force, tied into a pretty bow in mid-air, and the fat wizard's face visibly began to turn purple.
The black cat relaxed its tail, and the fat wizard immediately fell to the ground, rolling violently a few times, hands frantically grasping the knotted tongue outside his mouth, trying to untie it, looking as if he was about to suffocate.
